13 reasons to use educational technology in lessons - ICT and Computing in Ed... - 7 views

  • implement personalised learning.
    • katrina carpenter
       
      this is an important area. Used correctly ICT can support students that require greater levels of scaffolding and do so in a way that allows the student to maintain control of their own learning path.
  • Educational technology puts the pupil in control (if it is well-designed), enabling her to personalise the interface, select and create resources, and even choose what to learn
    • katrina carpenter
       
      This needs to be managed well as few students have the skills to fully manage what they are learning. Perhaps they do however the constraints of the curriculum require they cover set criteria. Choices are available but these still need to be guided and negotiated with the teacher
  • motivating pupils
    • katrina carpenter
       
      motivation also extends to reduced behaviour issues in a class where students are engaged in their learning

  •  
    digital natives and digital immigrants- An interesting read however dated the figures may be.
